Excuse me? What the goddamn?

Post blatant occurrences of a Pokémon not having something it should.

No Water Shuriken. Starmie and Staryu fly around like living throwing stars, and that move has been changed to be a special attack instead of physical now.

It also doesn't get Regenerator, despite it being a psychic starfish which are known for regenerating lost body parts. I know Natural Cure is a reference to this and it gets Recover, but still.

>>42955364
Why would it get either of those things? It attacks with its jaws and is not a bird.

If this is some kind of disqualifier for having Head Smash, then why would Tyrantrum -- the Pokémon that introduced Strong Jaw -- get it? At this point, it definitely wouldn't be broken to give Aerodactyl the moves it wants to run.

It frustrates me to no end that Samurott has Shell Armor instead of Battle Armor. Battle Armor in Japanese is called Kabuto Armor, which is what samurai's wear.

Both dinosaurs and pterosaurs are reptiles because they're in Archosauria along with crocs, and Archosauria is in Reptilia/Sauropsida. Mammals literally cannot be closely related to any reptile because they are synapsids, and Synapsida (mammals and stem-mammals) and Sauropsida (reptiles) split millions of years ago.

Because Lugia didn't originate from the ocean. It's whole lore is that when it's tower burned down it fled there, and it's implied Lugia was the one who burned down the tower, likely by accident. It's self imposed exile.

Even though it's been fixed I just want to complain about Heliolisk not getting Solar Beam or any sun-related moves when it first came out.

How do you fuck that up.

Actually I remember seeing ads for Girls Gone Wild in the very late night, though I did remember this ad too.

Just like how it took them until LGPE to give Hypno and Drowzee the ability to learn Dream Eater on level up. If they ever make it into the next game, I still cautiously wonder if they'll keep that.

I think Brave Bird is just supposed to be a generic "aerial dive", hence why the Zubat line gets it.

Nope. Only theropods are birds.
Pterosaurs were reptiles.

This thing has already done its job if it gets the chance to fire off a head smash in the first place. It's not sturdy enough to use its hp for anything else and getting a single knockout is a huge advantage in a game where teams don't work if someone is missing
